  • This Japanese condiment, spicy-salty citrus is still unknown to many will change the way you enjoy your food forever. Yuzukosho (柚子胡椒) is by far my favorite Japanese condiment or seasoning, better than wasabi and Japanese mayonnaise. It's found in Kochi prefecture on Shikoku Island and I traveled there to see it farmed and made at the factory.
    Yuzu Kosho is a simple recipe of fermented Yuzu rinds, salt, green chili peppers without seeds and Yuzu juice added to taste and consistency. The salt content also helps preserve it longer.
    ▶︎ What foods does Yuzu Kosho go well with?
    Yakitori, wagyu beef steaks, nabemono, soups, pasta, karaage deep-fried chicken, salad dressing, pizza, hot dogs ... it's very versatile.
